I kept texting him to see if I could take his stuff to the consignment store (or the garbage.) and eventually he said, 'Really busy right now, you can just make executive decisions.' Which I translated to, 'Congratulations! All of your anti-hoarding dreams have come true. My husband was out of town on a business trip when I went through a major de-hoarding/ nesting binge.

You couldn't have payed me enough to venture into that labyrinth of broken record players and headless Barbies. My mom finally cleaned out our attic after my dad passed away because I told her, if anything happened to her, I was lighting the house on fire and collecting the insurance money. My Meme washes tinfoil and Ziploc bags and reuses them. She was well trained by my Meme-to THROW AWAY NOTHING. I blame my mother for my extreme aversion to hoarding. Between bouncy seats, pack n plays, toys, diaper genies, and whatever else Baby's R Us can assure us we need, I have nightmares of our home swallowing us up in 6 months. And I know a baby means a whole new world of clutter. Does this mean:ДЄ) My next sonogram could show surprise multiple babies we didn't see the first timeД¬) I am going to have a beach ball belly by month 8 with stretch marks that look like a road map instead of the cute little basketball tummy everyone keeps assuring me I'll have I decided to treat myself to a pedicure and the first PSL (That means Pumpkin Spice Latte, mom) of the season since I assume I will never have pocket change again because I will soon be poor from buying adorable baby girl clothes.and those adorable baby moccasins.ДЄND I have a lot of friends telling me they were about 16 weeks before they had a bump. And of course it hit me at the most RIDICULOUS moment ever. So it took several hours for the fact that, holy $H*T! We are having a daughter! To fully sink in.

May 'sexting' become as dated a concept as 8 track tapes and may she get in early acceptance with a full ride scholarship to Georgia for her academic prowess. May her legs not be of her mother's chicken persuasion and her eyebrows come in a pair. May the boy who breaks her heart, well, on second thought Lord, I don't think you are the one to handle this.

May her tattoos be temporary and self driving cars completely indestructible by her 16th year. Please let ankle skirts and turtlenecks be all the rage throughout her high school and college years. Then, of course, you have to think about the teen years. SO, I create this little scavenger hunt (in about 10 minutes, so ignore the terrible handwriting and floral post it notes.) (Insert maniacal laugh here because I sort of know this is going to stress him out letting the suspense build even more.) (Did I mention I love surprises?!) (Did I mention I'm pregnant, and I get to do what I want?!) In the meantime, I grab a shower (where I have my best ideas) and hatch a plan to make Austin work for this envelope. He is itching for us to just open the envelope, but I am not interested in being on a celebration timer for this news. Austin is 3 minutes away from a half hour conference call. (Although the spider incident had me questioning that.) Austin was sticking with boy.ДЇinally, it is 8AM, and I call and ask for the nurse to stick the results in an envelope. All of the wives tales I've heard seem to be full on girl (they say they steal your beauty-dull hair, break outs, nausea, the works). Up until this point, I am pretty sure it's a girl. Call us back if you want to find out.' Of course I get this voicemail after their office is closed and have to wait a painstaking amount of time for them to open. SO, I find myself on the end of a voicemail that says something like, 'The tests are back. So, since I'm adopted and my medical history is a little sparse, we decided to find out as much as we could as early as we could. Instead of waiting for the baby to be big enough to play 'Do you see that? It's a boy! I think.' on a sonogram, now a blood test can tell you your baby's chances of having a chromosomal genetic disorder like Down syndrome or Trisomy 13, along with its gender, all by week 12.
